Historic Cold Spring Village is an Early American open-air living history museum. The Village brings to life the day-to-day activities of villagers living in South Jersey during the “age of homespun.” (1790-1840). Visitors can make a personal connection between the past and present through the interactive, educational, and hands-on family activities. Take a stroll along our 22 acres of shaded lanes, enjoy the gardens and observe the farm where heritage crops are grown; visit twenty-six restored antique buildings housing historically-clothed interpreters, who educate and entertain visitors about the lifestyles, issues, trades and crafts of yesteryear.  Children enjoy playing at the activity area where they take part in a variety of projects such as trying on costumes, participating in hands-on crafts and playing games.

Living history for 25 years!

Historic Cold Spring Village is open from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. weekends beginning Memorial Day Weekend through late June, then Tuesday through Sunday until Labor Day weekend and weekends until mid-September. Each time you visit the Village and shop or dine with us, you are supporting New Jersey history education and historic preservation.
